Lot 1124
Magnificent Superb Gem 1864 Proof Seated Quarter. NGC graded Proof 66. An original and deeply enchanting Civil War Era proof quarter dollar. More correctly described as "Cameo", the devices are superbly frosty and free from abrasions or impairments. Only the faintest hairlines are found on heavily mirrored surfaces. After years of seven digit mintage figures at Philadelphia, the Civil War brought on a period of heavily reduced production of silver and gold coinage. In 1864, only 93,600 business strike quarter dollars and 470 proof quarter dollars were produced. A choice specimen that is definitely among the top survivors from this challenging numismatic time frame. NGC population of 5 in PF66, 1 in PF67 and 3 in PF68 as the finest.
Estimated Value $6,000 - 7,000.
